Poor Hughes. Didn't deserve that.

If only there was a system that removed those type of howlers from the game...

I don't see why Siddle came out before Starc if he was going to bat like this. If he was going to bat defensively and support Haddin then sure I could see the logic but if the plan was to counter-attack then Starc was the man, surely.

And now he's out as I type this.

This line doesn't really work when poor decisions go in favour of India tbh.
Poor decisions **** me regardless of who they go against. It really pisses me off that both sides have to agree to DRS. The BCCI morons who are against DRS should crawl back into the primordial soup they came out of.

Starc is a better batsman, end of story

Australian tactics in this series have been questionable to say the least

Decisions lately, on the whole, have been neutral or favorable to India. Just the law of averages will tell you that sooner or later they'll go the other way. Hopefully sooner, so then everyone can be under the same rules.

Yeah, clearly a fluke that he bowled the vast majority of his deliveries yesterday at the right place. Should've picked Dave Hussey as a specialist spinner, obviously
Pretty sure I advocated O'Keefe as the first choice option.

Shame you can't see sense - but that's your issue not mine :D

Wont happen in India as their spinners will always bowl with a lot of people around the bat with the fieldsmen appealing for everything

Only stands to reason that they will benefit from more dodgy decisions than most opposing teams

Just opened the scorecard. Repeat of 4th day of second test! Are India amazing or Australia really poor? Has to be the latter I guess.
